Upgrading and downgrading
How to Upgrade
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
shut down (this could take a few minutes), then run the installer (on Windows)
or just copy over /Applications/Paycoin-Qt (on Mac) or paycoind/paycoin-qt (on Linux).
If you encounter any issues starting the new wallet it is recommended that you delete and resync the blockchain. To delete the blockchain look in the
Paycoin data directory (listed below) and delete everything except the wallet.dat and paycoin.conf
Linux : ~/.paycoin/
Windows : %appdata%\Paycoin
Mac : ~/Library/Application Support/Paycoin
It is highly recommended that if you do not have a backup of your wallet.dat
to go ahead and make one before deleting the blockchain.
The listed directories are the defaults, if using the datadir flag make sure to
look in the assigned directory.
If after the blockchain is synced you find your balance is incorrect please run:
repairwallet
If using the daemon this can be done the same as any other command, for QT users
please proceed to help > debug window > console and enter the command from there
(you may press escape to close out of the console).
